DSM-5-TR 4-Book Set – Manual (Paperback) + Desk Reference + Pocket Guide + Spiral Classification

This four-book DSM-5-TR set includes the full Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision in paperback, the Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria, Nussbaum’s Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam, and the spiral-bound DSM-5-TR Classification, for clinicians who want the complete APA diagnostic toolkit.

The DSM-5-TR from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is the reference every mental health discipline works from, but the full manual is not the book you keep open in a session. The APA publishes companions for that, and buying them together gives a practice or a trainee the full manual for study and the smaller volumes for daily clinical use.

What’s included

• Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) – paperback
• Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-5-TR – compact criteria-only volume
• The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam by Abraham M. Nussbaum, MD
• DSM-5-TR Classification – spiral-bound quick reference of all diagnoses and ICD-10-CM codes
• All four published by American Psychiatric Association Publishing

Who it’s for

Psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed counselors, clinical social workers, and marriage and family therapists setting up or refreshing a practice library. Psychiatry residents and PMHNP students who need the manual for coursework and a pocket reference for rotations. Candidates for the ABPN boards, psychology licensing, and clinical social work exams.

Why this set

The Text Revision updated the criteria, codes, and text across the manual and added prolonged grief disorder, so companions written for the original DSM-5 no longer match. Every volume in this set is the DSM-5-TR version. Together they cover reading the DSM, looking something up fast, and conducting the diagnostic interview.

Frequently asked questions

How many books are in this DSM-5-TR set?

Four: the full DSM-5-TR manual in paperback, the Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria, the Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam, and the spiral-bound DSM-5-TR Classification.

What is the Desk Reference compared with the full manual?

The Desk Reference reprints only the diagnostic criteria sets and codes, without the descriptive text, in a slim volume you can keep open during a session. The full manual has the criteria plus all the explanatory text.

Is the Pocket Guide to the Diagnostic Exam an APA publication?

Yes. It is written by Abraham M. Nussbaum, MD, and published by American Psychiatric Association Publishing. It walks through a structured diagnostic interview keyed to DSM-5-TR.
